1984 Nelson Racing T.T. Camaro
 

Well some of you might remember her. Randy Davis sent a car out to Tom Nelson to get a twin turbo put in. Tom brought it over to me to do the all the plumbing. Well just like any other project it took a SHARP TURN. We ended up backhalfing the car and stuffing a 345 under her mind you all this time the car was painted (not fun). So that got finished. In the mean time Nelson was busy creating the baddest billet intake and twin turbo set-up known to man. Well we all now what this does? The engine compartment had to compliment the motor. So here are a couple of spy photos before SEMA.

That firewall looks sculpted. Sweet!

Beautiful workmanship!! As always though coming from your crowd! Look forward to seeing it at SEMA!

Awesome work!!!

I'm with Brent!! Real nice work being done over there!! See ya at SEMA! He what booth will it be at?

Wow !!! I can't wait to see this car finished !!!!! I thought my 91' Camaro was a very nice car, but it is a POS compared to this one !!

Jason

Thanks guys It's going to be in Nelson Racing Engines booth in Central Hall

yet another reason to go to Sema

Here's one more. The top portion is almost done but it'll give you an idea of where it's heading.

Would it be possible to get you to send me any further pictures of the mini tub, preferably start to finish, or at least whatever you have taken? The owner of the car sent me a few which are very good, but if I am going to cut into my 91' , I want to have as much information as I can possibly find. This car would be a GREAT example to base my workings off of.

If so, please send them to [email protected]

Thanks, :thumbsup:

Jason

Ok im going to sema this year!

As the probably newest purchases of another car with a Nelson engine, (just paid for it hours ago. Wont deliver til Sunday!) very interested to see this complete! I've got to get to SEMA!

Thank you very much for the e-mail !

This car is going to raise the bar in the thirdgen world !!

Do you have any pictures of the frame rail areas that you fabbed? I have a good idea of what is needed now for the tubs themselves, but the frame portion I am leary of due to the uni-body constuction.

You are doing an amazing job ! Keep up the great work !

Jason

Thanks guys. Boy am I a stress case right know. Today is pretty much my last day to work on it. If it was a normal build I could use another couple weeks,but ya gotta do what ya gotta do. Hey Brent we need to meat up at SEMA and introduce ourselves. I just got done talking to Desmond yesterday. I don't know if you know but he left West Coast and is on his own. Check out his new site. www.wargasser.com. Talk to you soon.

Yes I have been in talks with Desmond as of late. Know everything going on. Extremely talented artist. Now he no longer with Jesse, he is now available to do freelance work. He plans on coming over here to Lateral-G.

No doubt we will be in talks soon. Keep up the killer work & see ya at SEMA.

Brent

Awesome job on the car Mark... What a task for SEMA. Good luck. That car should look kiler when you wheel it in...

I will be out to see Tom late October. I bent some stainless for my brake and fire supression lines. It gave me a whole new appreciation for what you do. Holy crap that stuff can be brutal....lol.
